hey it's your average consumer I just want to let you guys know that this channel was made with the average consumer in mind alright let's get to another tech video what's going on everyone at your average consumer and today I review for you guys of the SOL Republic tracks ultra arch let's not wasting time let's get right into it alright guys so here we have the SOL Republic tracks ultra now these are some very nice-looking headphones I'm quite a fan of the design I think they look really good I really like the color I don't think they'd offer too many colors I think this is the only one actually um this cost about 170 $9.99 for the tracks ultra the tracks HD cost 120 $9.99 and I think just the regular tracks cost about a hundred bucks if I if I remember correctly so this is quite a step up in price compared to the others so in this review I'll see if it's outside I'll let you guys know if I think it's worth that $50 price jump from the HDS now let's talk a bit more about the design this has a pretty nice design um it's really interesting this whole new take on you know headphones I like the fact that these ear cups can just come off just like that and it's all very interesting it's like a four piece set you got your wide cable here and it's a wide cable because it has the UM the two inputs and sitted ear cups that going here so it's no shaped like a Y if you can see that and you know it has two ear cups which are very nice I really do like the design of these ear cups it has like an aluminum finish as you can see they kind of spin there how the light spins on it the only problem with these ear cups though is it seems really easy for debris to get inside and for it to look a little messy as you can see if I have like swipe it or something you can I'm not sure if you can pick it up I'm you know I'm gonna give you guys a close-up so you can see what I'm talking about alright guys so here are the ear cups up close I'm not sure if you can see like this little white stuff going right here and the little scratch I made these little things are like you know these happen a lot it's very easy for this to happen and all I'm not really sure why but you know it does but one thing is don't you know if you just swipe up in US in a circle circular motion it kind of gets rid of it so you know it's not bad it's not like a permanent problem or anything but it's just annoying that like you know without realizing it it can get like that and um you don't want to be walking around looking like your and phones are scratched up or something or it's just dirty so that's the only my only real complaint as far as the ear tips go also this um just white cushion it can get a bit dirty since it is white um you'd really don't want these like lying on your jeans for long or anything like that so that might be a problem so the white cushion is also another little thing about these ear cups and the headband also has um that same white cushioning and you know when you're sweating from your head and you know it can be quite the problem so not really I like the color of the white and blue you know it's a good mix I think but it's just not practical when um you know for everyday use cuz these will get pretty dirty alright that's my take on that but I still do like the design I think the color scheme was great this is a great blue it's kind of like it's kind of teal almost and you know till just random is a random color but that happens to be my favorite color so I'm a real big fan of these they look really good um and the band is really strong you know they say it's virtually indestructible you can kind of twist there all kinds of funky ways and not have to wear a lot of snapping here you can do a 180 on it and nothing breaking no problem now that's a cool feature no but it's not really practical at all no one should be bending their headphones like this or you know twisting it like this um you know it just goes to show you how durable it is you know just some bonus points the only time you'll have to worry about it being able to twist like this is if you end sitting on it by accident on a couch and you're gonna probably put pressure on one side more than the other so I don't have to worry about it snapping easily like that but pretty much that's like the only real situation that it's um that that bending factor is gonna be really good for it it being squished by you or maybe something in your bag that's about it but overall it is still nice to have the ability to you know bend the headphones like that and not worry much about it being getting messed up or anything like that so that's always really cool and you cannot confirm making it that durable it's only a good thing I know a lot of people don't like that headband because they say it looks cheap but you know you can't complain when you're have been you know it's not gonna snap so I think it kind of throws the cheap argument out sentences you know it's a very durable pair of them know very durable headband so I can't really complain um these are also very comfortable the cushions are very nicely plush it's also nice up top can't complaints are very comfortable I think that because of the way the band is made it doesn't have it's not really tight so it's pretty comfortable sometimes I feel like it's a little too loose on my ears but that just me might be me used to some tire headphones but I think that that was that's probably a good thing for most people because it's gonna feel pretty nice and um you're not too worried about it clamping on your head anything like that so that's definitely a bonus and it's still secure a while on your head like that so that's always a good thing definitely some pluses there so overall I really do like the design of it I think they're great looking headphones one thing I do wish that these could do that they obviously can't is fold you know no matter how indestructible you don't want to you know fold these in and tuck them away don't want to risk folding them too much no you know I thought wish that it folded it makes it a bit more compact when taking these places with you it actually comes with this little carrying case which if you saw my unboxing I think that this looks pretty similar to a like an iPod I'm not a tablet case or sweetie rather and you know it's really interesting take on you know a traveling pouch and this is how they go in so you can slip I flip this in your book bag or something I don't know maybe change the song to something I'm not too sure how you want to go around with it but you know it's a little on the clunky side even though it is a bit flat it's still like a big this big square shape not too fond of that so well I wish it could fold so it can have like a smaller compact design as far as the case goes but really not not too much to complain about this does protect it from scratches and things like that so that's always a good thing and that's pretty much when I think about the design they're really nice looking pair of headphones and what's really cool about soul Republic is that you're able to change swap out the headbands for other different kinds of have bends so you can get yourself like a different look different kind of style depending on your outfit who knows what you want to do you want to switch it up so it's pretty cool that you can have these interchangeable head pins and you know they cost about $30 a pop so it can get pretty expensive when you know you try to get a lot of colors or collect a lot of colors or something like that but you know it's really cool that you have so many options with these headphones so I'm really I really like that now we spoke about the durability to comfort the design aspect now I'm sure you guys want to know about the sound quality the sound quality I must say um I wasn't too wowed by these I have tried the SOL Republic tracks HD and I really cannot tell the difference between these two months the only difference I really could tell well I can't tell the difference in what makes these better than the HDS um the hd's had more bass than the ultras so that was very surprising to me I'm not sure what kind of sound they're going for with these but the HDS have more bass and outside of that I couldn't tell a difference between the two sound quality's like I said I'm not an audiophile or anyone in industry or audio industry so I can't pick up on the little things and I don't think your average consumer can pick up on the little things like that either so what I recommend you guys shop there's an extra 50 bucks for these over the HDS I definitely do not like I said it has to be a noticeable difference considering that these look exactly the same as the HDS these look exactly the same these don't even same so republic ultras on them or anything like that they don't mention also us anywhere on the headphones so you're really I'm not official what you'd be paying for aside from the fact that you know it's one of the new ones or maybe the fact that you might want less bass but outside of that there's really no benefit to these that I can pick up and that I think your average consumer will be able to pick up as well but overall it still sounds decent I would still definitely go with the Trax HD over the other you know any time but I do like those better than to use so that pretty much wraps up everything I have to say about them as far sound quality that looks durability all that good stuff so now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to show you how it looks on and around my head alright guys so here you are with the Trax ultra around my neck and as you can see this is it tablets on the side pretty cool and here it is on my head there you are this is how it looks like from the front and from the side so like I said not a bad looking pair of headphones I really I'm a fan of the design myself I think they look really good and overall guys my impression of the ultras are on the decent pair of headphones because the tracks HD are cheaper look exactly the same and sound better I would go for those instead of these if you're maybe an audiophile I think that you might be a baby be able to pick up on the difference between the two aside from the fact that the HDS have a bit more base um but as further average consumer I don't think that there's a reason to pay another $50 for these over the HDS so that's just my opinion letting you guys know what I think about the track salt truck and hopefully if you like this video please feel
